Welcome to my Life!
Gosh.. Simple Plan concert was amazing. Eventhough it was as packed as the Incubus concert, suprisingly i didn't find it difficult to breathe at all! It's definitely not the growth in height but somehow.. it was probably because i was rocking all night long! It was amaaazzziing! Almost indesribable. The people there were great. All knew the lyrics and that makes it so so much more fun! And the best thing was, Simple Plan promised to come back! Hahaha! I know some may argue almost every band in the world that visits will say that. But, they better! It's a promise man. I'll start counting the days from now. :P
Arrived at 3:45 pm, gates opened at 7:00pm. Wanted to get a good position but ended up having the same position as people arriving at 5pm or later. Haha. The position i had wasn't that bad though. I was still one of the front rows and gosh.. it was a fantastic place. I really got quite a good view and I enjoyed myself to ...argh. Hahaha. Fun night. Really really fun night. Like many of you know, I really really like Simple Plan! Fav band. Their songs are all great and there is no one song i dislike. I was so glad i had their new album and they played me against the world!!!! Hahaha.
And oh yea, Atif managed to grab an autographed poster too when DJ Utt threw it few minutes before Simple Plan actually came out.
Hehe. I lost all the strength I had for Shut up, I lost my voice at Welcome to my Life, I lost my senses at Me against the World. It was seriously good.
Their encore performances, esp Perfect was woot! Hahaha. Pierre came with a classical guitar and strummed. The reason it was so good is because everyone actually sang. All knew that song. Hahaha. Then the band joined in and it was a fantastic end.
I do sound like i'm exaggerating a few things but i'm actually not! Hahahaha!
Fun fun fun!
:) Like you can see from my typing style above, i'm extremely tired now. The concert was just a few hours ago and i still can see myself jumping up and down. Hahaha.
Can't stop laughing. Huhu! Thx Shyan for the opportunity. It was FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!
I WANT SIMPLE PLAN!!!

Photos and photoshop-ed photos
I recently just updated the photos for the MSSD basketball zone level to my class blog where my school eventually emerged as runnerups. Haha. Here are some of the pics which i added caption onto them.
You can find many many more of these original pics in my Class Blog.
Haha. I find this rather interesting because i actually didn't plan to edit the pics so soon but zhi ven was asking me to do it for my Class Blog. So i was in the mood and started with my work! I can understand how nooby all these pics are but my knowledge of photoshop is really very limited. :)
I like this pic cause it's just damn gaya. I don't remember if this shot went in but i'm quite confident it did. If only i took this 1 second later where he was already jumping a little bit higher. Oh well..this isn't too bad.
A quote by Ghandi. The original one is actually something like ,'The measure of success is not by the result, but by the effort put in'. Something like that. I find it incredibly meaningful though. :)
Haha. Sorry if the caption is a little erm..=/. :P I really thought like about 30 secs for it. And hey, it isn't too bad also!
This caption was originated by Zhi Ven. He actually edited one pic and then somehow asked me to delete it from my Class Blog and asked me to do a new one. I think this is not too bad either.
And there it is. I took so many pics on that day i can actually find more where i can practice my photoshop skills on. I shall post the edited pics here as soon as i do them. Hehe. Exams next week so i don't think i'll have the time. :)
Till then,

School and SP
Weee. So my computer is back again.. this time i have a totally new monitor! Some Samsung Syncmaster thing , some model. New wireless modem. Old one got fried. Bla bla. Nothing to talk about really, dont want to think bout it anymore.
Today. Let's see.
Yea, the one thing special happened today was .. the form 4s and form 5s had to go up to the hall at about 1pm and listen to some kinda talk by a former Cahayian student. Alina Ee was invited to give her speech and told stories about her journey to success etc. Was kinda interesting as we had another look insight the former Cahayian of the Year and the Cahayian top scorer. Oh well, i have to admit her talk did affect me a little in some kind of motivational way but dunno ler. Mixed feelings all inside me as usual. :/
Survived the worst day of the week today and gonna have the supposedly best day of the week tomorrow. I'm judging in terms of the subjects for that day. =)
Also had tuition just now and my poor mind currently had surpassed its limit.
Yea, Simple Plan's concert next week on the 29th. What a great time. Sandwiched in between my exams, this concert really know how to pick the time. Sigh. I already know i'm gonna regret like hell but i have no choice really. Nothing to say, try not to remind me about it anymore in the near future. :(
Ah what else. Feeling damn tired now mentally. Physically i'm still alright but duno ler. Gonna have tuition tomorrow again and Thursday. Exams are next week so wish me the best of luck.
I guess that's all for the moment.
Thx for reading this dull dull post.
Cheers.

No time to jam, it's time for SPM
How annoying can the world be? Is education over-rated? Y must every single person in the world excel in everything they do? How significant is a straight A result? What happens if you fail in your education? What else do you lose besides a good name? Why will someone ruin their reputation if their respective examination results are below par? Once again, how annyoning can the world be?
Is it just me, or have i not know the truly significance of it yet? Is this what an 'immature' person would think? I'm honestly not sure. Please care to explain it to me. I'm stressed out. I want to be left alone.
I hate the state of life i'm in right now.
Sandwiched between the pressure of getting good results and my personal problems, the world i'm living in right now is really heading nowhere. I do something for a reason which i do not know what, I live a life that has no direction or any sort of goal. I try to live and enjoy my life individually and seperately day by day , not thinking of the long gone past or the future..but ppl tells me that is wrong. I worry each day about my grades and problems with my mind wandering about in the future and the past..but ppl tells me that is wrong.
I'm lost and confused. Like a little blind mice. At least the 3 blind mice had company. I'm alone in this.
My everchanging ambition is the only thing i'm depending on now. Currently i'm very very interested to be involved in Designing. Whatever sort of designing course i may pursue, i know i'll still have lots of fun and enjoy it. Besides, my creativity isn't that bad too. I still can picture objects in my head and know how to bring the effect out of something. And i guess that's something.
Because of that simple reason, i am gonna work my butt off for my SPM examinations later this year. I'm no engineer or doctor, i just don't have the brains and determination for it. I'm lazy, i do not know why. My discipline is horrible, must be badly trained in school from young. My memory is the worst you can find, again i do not know why. My personality is too carefree, once again got something to do with my low level of discipline. I'm beating around the bush again, and this post is heading nowhere. If you got any advice, i need it. Thx.
Ah, so the SPM results collection was on last Thurs if i'm not mistaken. My seniors who mostly now are already in their colleges came back to SSC for their results. As soon as one arrive, the whole bunch suddenly swarmed it. Suddenly the school's office was flooded with ex-cahayians who wanted to collect their result slip. Many were approached by my schoolmates, many greetings were exchanged, smiles were of a plentiful, congratulations were made and i noticed no tears. Maybe i missed it or something but i certainly didn't see anyone crying whether for joy or sadness.
So the results of my old frens were passed on by word of mouth from one to another and i got to know some of my old buddies results. I was pleasingly shocked by some of the results in a good way and was quite surprised at some of the results i saw in a slightly less better way. =)
As the day went by, I was at a point sitting alone thinking to myself... Next year, it'll be my turn. I began picturing my friends in their home clothes coming one by one and saying things like "hi, long time no c"..."how have u been doing"..etc. I was thinking bout what i would get and how i would react to the results. I see some of my friends screaming for joy whilst others crumbles under the pressure. Some were very disappointed by the corner and i was yet to collect my result slip. All i thought that time was a disappointing result and i just couldn't think of a fantastic result that would make me happy. I actually felt the sadness in me. The disappointment. The hopes that people put on me crushed.
After a long while of thinking, i began to try and think of what will happen if i managed a good result somehow. The happiness. The joy.
And i want that feeling. I want to feel happy. I want to keep the hopes of my family and friends alive. And for that, i'll work hard. I'll try to work towards achieving my goal. I really really want to be happy. I want to have tears of joy on that very day, not sadness. I want to be proud of myself. I want to finally achieve something in life. I want people to look up to me. I crave for that feeling that i imagined about. The very feeling i felt in December 2003 when i collected my PMR results Slip.
My emotions do whirlwinds in me everytime i think of it.
My mindset is changing as i type this post... this is confusing. Something is pulling me to it yet something is pushing me back.
Pls. Someone guide me. I really really want to do it. But i just ..... :(
To change the subject and end this pointless topic, i recently did some quiz thing to know what kind of person u are, bla bla bla... so here are my results! I did the Nerd Quiz and the Loser quiz and i must say i got a result i'm satisfied with! :) Here it is!
Hahaha. I'm a cool guy.
After that i was damn bored so i surfed around the site looking for other quizzes and i found this. Damn, this was a close call but yet.. :D
~_~
I feel better now.

Sports Day, and the never-looking-forward-to Prefect's Camp.
The postponed Sports Day was on the 4th of March last week if i'm not mistaken.. exactly 1 week from today. The reason i did not update sooner was because I went to a camp the very next day after my Sports Day and my computer was fried by lightning. MY computer's still not back yet anyway. The computer guy took it away and has not returned it yet. I'm on my bro's laptop now.. Freaking funny keypads ...damn hard to type. Argh. So anyway, the 1 night camp was kinda fun, better than i had imagined it would be. On monday i was extremely tired but i had no choice but to go to school on that day eventhough i just returned from the camp the day before. ZZZ. Back to boring ol' school with the 1 week holiday the only thing i'm looking forward to.
Anyway, Sports Day. IF you had been reading my Class Blog, you would know that ..............YELLOW WON!!! WOOOT! WEEET! WAAAAT! Omg. Seriously, what better time can the house victory be achieved? It's my final year goddammit. And WE did it! Gosh. I remembered being overly excited and happy that day. But the feeling is fading as the days are passing. Damn. Whatever it is, Yellow still won. At least now we can prove many many ppl wrong. :) . For all those who doubted Yellow, hahaha, i duno what to tell u guys also. Oh well, we let the talking be done in the stadium, and what great talk that was.
Congrats to the 2 Junior fellas and Rong Xuan from Senior 3 for grabbing the Sportsman/Sportswoman of the Year award. You guys make Yellow feel like champions. A special congratulations to Chung Wei Ling(Red) from Senior 3 too for grabbing the senior Sportswoman of the Year award. No one else deserved it more than you.
Ok what else. Cheerleading. Congrats to Yellow once again for winning! Hahahaha. March past..congrats blue.
Bah enough with the congratulations shit.
Btw, here are some photos i took. For more photos or for any special requests, pls msg me privately. Thx.
These photos are either just the Yellow house photos or the photos which i thought are my favourites. Many many more photos i took WILL be posted up in my Class Blog(5 Science 1). The link is available under the Link section in my blog at the sidebar to ur right.

I love this pic. And no, it's not because of the person in it but because of the utter 'gayaness'
Yellow rox. Check out the distance of Chuang Kit(the yellow runner) to the ground.
because victory is golden.
Yellow, Champions 2005.
Ok.
The next day after the tiring Sports Day, I went to a camp which i was very reluctant to go at first. Freaking prefect's camp. Freaking Camps. What are they for anyway? To let ppl suffer and live in a very uncomfortable place? Bah. So anyway, departed to camp at about 7:50am. The whole bus was waiting for me as I was late(as usual). Said hello to my frens and took one quick look at Huey Shyan who was busy giggling away with my other frens. She had not experience a good day the day before. Blue house got 3rd overall and 3rd for cheerleading. Saw her smiling with her red face all rosy so i gave a small grin, left my big backpack on the seat and sat down.
Managed to take a short rest in the bus and arrived at Broga Campsite at about an hour plus from departure. The place was almost exactly the same compared to 2 years ago when i was there as a probate. Haha. Time flies. Now i'm part of the senior batch of prefects and I'll be sitting for my SPM at the end of the year. Time ...omg. Too fast. I can't take it. ARghhh! *pulls hair wildly*
Anyway, got there and we got our very first "seminar-like" kinda thing. Damn boring. Tought us about leadership skills, how to manage time, omg. Freaking boring. I wished i had taken photos anyway. But too risky to bring a camera to a campsite. So i did not take any bergaya shots or any photos at all.. sorry. After the boring talks, we got divided into 2 teams. And guess what, i was put into the underdog team again. Actually i was not even sure if the team i was in is an underdog team..we won every event that we competed....we showed more spirit, more teamwork...hm.. Anyway, did the water rafting again. Exactly how I did it 2 years ago. Haha quite fun actually. There's this big pond which the flying fox cables were overlooking and the water raft was good man. Damn lazy to explain in details. Just know that we had a few bamboo sticks and four huge airdrums and rafia strings. That's all. And it was like Survivor man. Hahaha. I loved these challenges!
My team, the Swedish Reds completed the raft in no time so we got a huge headstart and finished the task quite fast. I can't really remember what happened after the water rafting events but i do know we had a couple of free time and a campfire that night. The campfire wasn't that bad too. Had many fun games which omg i almost laughed my head off. My team's applause, yell and skit wasn't that bad too i guess. We did what we could with the amount of time we had.
The next day was the so-called 'rough day'. Zzz, for every camp i know there'll be this day where u do all the physical demanding activities and i suck in all this kinda things. However fun and enjoyable it may look, it'll be damn hard to do it when u try. Or when I try rather. I'm a noob. And a useless piece of shitz. My team had to do the Obstacle Course first. This dumb obstacle course lookalike playground has strict rules and we had to start all the way from the beginning if we fail to comply to those dumb strict rules. My team had to redo about 3 times and freaking was it tiring. So many obstacles i thought i could have done but when u are actually there, omg. Can't man. Whatever it is, i still managed to complete it and ignored taunts from Christine. GRr. Thx Praveen and Vincent anyway. For helping me throughout the whole damn thing.
My team went to the flying fox next and seeing Shyan(from the other team) sitting on top there for 15 minutes scared me. Haha. I just loved the adrenaline rush when i was on top waiting for the strong winds to reside. Looking down, i thought about the thrill of the ride i was about to go on to. Damn it was fun. And it wasn't the low kinda flying fox. It was actually kinda high and was overlooking a big pond. The pond where my team so gracefully won the Water Rafting event. Hahaha. The wind began to reside and.. I was OFf!! AHHHH!! Haha, thinking about it makes my heart skip a beat. What a thrilling ride.
After my whole team had completed the Flying Fox, we went to the High Ropes and saw the other team still stucked with a few more members not even starting yet. This High Ropes thing was kinda new and i never tried it before the last time i came to Broga. It was freaking scary the first time i looked up. How u are just hanged with the cable thing(i forgot what it is called) and if you fall, omg. scary man. Thinking about it, it was actually damn fun. We actually had to go to 4 stations on different trees and complete each station before anyone can go on it. When i climbed the ladder up, the guy who was in front of me was screaming like shitz and because of extreme fear, he actually fell. To cut things short, i was part of the rescue mission since the ropes are actually interconnected to one another and since i was already on the first platform, no one can reach the ropes needed but me. What a terrible experience. I was already damn shaking and panicky and right in front of my eyes that guy fell. So bla bla bla, my turn was up. And the freaking first rope was not easy. It's called the V-something. My rope actually went out of position before i actually finish the thing. After that I completed the rest and woah. Satisfaction man. I did not think i could do it and so did anyone. Once again, I proved people wrong! Hahaha proud of myself.
What pulled me through those obstacles was a strength i never felt or experienced before in my life. As i walked halfway through the ropes, I wanted to give up, i really did wanted to. But i suddenly thought about the people who had always teased me, insulted me and never gave me a chance. I thought about many moments where I was criticised for not being a 'guy' and being too sissy and how i have to be more manly. As those thoughts began to play in my head, this inner strength i never thought i had took over and made me complete the whole obstacle ropes thing. I was proud of myself. I think i'm beginning to understand the meaning of "believing in yourself" now. :)
Whatever it is, i've done it. Completed it. And i went home with pride and a whole new level of self esteem.
There was an invicible grin at my face and a huge cry for joy in me. But i never showed it and i don't think i will. Hehe.
Ah, I wanted to blog also about the SPM results collection by my seniors in my school and how it affected me but i'm afraid my ramblings would take up too much space and thus make this post a too long of a post. After all i have quite a few things i want to say about it too. =)
So now, till next time..
Ciao!

And guess what, i was put into the underdog team again. Actually i was not even sure if the team i was in is an underdog team..we won every event that we competed....we showed more spirit, more teamwork...hm.. Anyway, did the water rafting again. Exactly how I did it 2 years ago. Haha quite fun actually. There's this big pond which the flying fox cables were overlooking and the water raft was good man. Damn lazy to explain in details. Just know that we had a few bamboo sticks and four huge airdrums and rafia strings. That's all. And it was like Survivor man. Hahaha. I loved these challenges!
My team, the Swedish Reds completed the raft in no time so we got a huge headstart and finished the task quite fast. I can't really remember what happened after the water rafting events but i do know we had a couple of free time and a campfire that night. The campfire wasn't that bad too. Had many fun games which omg i almost laughed my head off. My team's applause, yell and skit wasn't that bad too i guess. We did what we could with the amount of time we had.
The next day was the so-called 'rough day'. Zzz, for every camp i know there'll be this day where u do all the physical demanding activities and i suck in all this kinda things. However fun and enjoyable it may look, it'll be damn hard to do it when u try. Or when I try rather. I'm a noob. And a useless piece of shitz. My team had to do the Obstacle Course first. This dumb obstacle course lookalike playground has strict rules and we had to start all the way from the beginning if we fail to comply to those dumb strict rules. My team had to redo about 3 times and freaking was it tiring. So many obstacles i thought i could have done but when u are actually there, omg. Can't man. Whatever it is, i still managed to complete it and ignored taunts from Christine. GRr. Thx Praveen and Vincent anyway. For helping me throughout the whole damn thing.
My team went to the flying fox next and seeing Shyan(from the other team) sitting on top there for 15 minutes scared me. Haha. I just loved the adrenaline rush when i was on top waiting for the strong winds to reside. Looking down, i thought about the thrill of the ride i was about to go on to. Damn it was fun. And it wasn't the low kinda flying fox. It was actually kinda high and was overlooking a big pond. The pond where my team so gracefully won the Water Rafting event. Hahaha. The wind began to reside and.. I was OFf!! AHHHH!! Haha, thinking about it makes my heart skip a beat. What a thrilling ride.
After my whole team had completed the Flying Fox, we went to the High Ropes and saw the other team still stucked with a few more members not even starting yet. This High Ropes thing was kinda new and i never tried it before the last time i came to Broga. It was freaking scary the first time i looked up. How u are just hanged with the cable thing(i forgot what it is called) and if you fall, omg. scary man. Thinking about it, it was actually damn fun. We actually had to go to 4 stations on different trees and complete each station before anyone can go on it. When i climbed the ladder up, the guy who was in front of me was screaming like shitz and because of extreme fear, he actually fell. To cut things short, i was part of the rescue mission since the ropes are actually interconnected to one another and since i was already on the first platform, no one can reach the ropes needed but me. What a terrible experience. I was already damn shaking and panicky and right in front of my eyes that guy fell. So bla bla bla, my turn was up. And the freaking first rope was not easy. It's called the V-something. My rope actually went out of position before i actually finish the thing. After that I completed the rest and woah. Satisfaction man. I did not think i could do it and so did anyone. Once again, I proved people wrong! Hahaha proud of myself.
What pulled me through those obstacles was a strength i never felt or experienced before in my life. As i walked halfway through the ropes, I wanted to give up, i really did wanted to. But i suddenly thought about the people who had always teased me, insulted me and never gave me a chance. I thought about many moments where I was criticised for not being a 'guy' and being too sissy and how i have to be more manly. As those thoughts began to play in my head, this inner strength i never thought i had took over and made me complete the whole obstacle ropes thing. I was proud of myself. I think i'm beginning to understand the meaning of "believing in yourself" now. :)
Whatever it is, i've done it. Completed it. And i went home with pride and a whole new level of self esteem.
There was an invicible grin at my face and a huge cry for joy in me. But i never showed it and i don't think i will. Hehe.
Ah, I wanted to blog also about the SPM results collection by my seniors in my school and how it affected me but i'm afraid my ramblings would take up too much space and thus make this post a too long of a post. After all i have quite a few things i want to say about it too. =)
So now, till next time..
Ciao!
